An interesting question relates to the relationship of
"advocating individual freedom of thought and thinking", vs
"holding the US responsible for every thought that anyone
 in the world happens to have"?

To me, these are polar opposites.

This is not the question of whether "we" or "they" are most 
articulate.
The question is:  "Who is responsible for global mind control?"

Think about it;-)...   Cheers...\Stef
